Chapter 520: Big Brother is a symbol of the rich

The store manager was no longer surprised to see this situation, because he knew that this situation would occur when the company set this price. The advent of the mobile phone www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion was certainly not a mass route at the beginning, but definitely a luxury route first.

Because the current cost of mobile phones is very high, if you sell it cheaply, it will definitely not work!

If you want to make mobile phones accessible to the masses, it is estimated that it will not be possible in a few years.

"Everyone, there is no way to do this, mobile phones are high-tech products, so the price is generally more expensive. That's how the store manager can explain.

"Who buys it when it's so expensive?"

"That's it, I might as well buy a car!"

"Let's go, I can't afford to use this phone. ”

Most of the people left at once.

But there were three or four people on the spot who wanted to buy a mobile phone.

Shuichi Minamino sat in the back and looked at these things, and he felt that it didn't matter. Anyway, this is taking the luxury route, and those people can't afford it if they don't go.

In this way, a week after the Big Brother mobile phone was launched, it passed quietly.

There are a total of 150 units in stock at the specialty store in Tokyo. After a week, it was sold out! Basically, it was bought by the kind of business, or big stars and people with status.

Early in the morning, as soon as the door of the store opened, several people rushed in.

"Store manager, is your big brother a new product? I've been waiting for three days. A young man in a suit asked eagerly. Of course, he didn't buy the mobile phone, he bought it for the boss of his own company. He's the one who came to run errands. Where does the boss of his company have time to buy a mobile phone?

"I'm sorry for this gentleman, but the new goods are estimated to have to wait a little longer. It is estimated that the goods will be available in a few days. The store manager said helplessly. It's hard to make a hungry sale up there, so these people can wait.

"Nani, no goods yet?"

"I'm sorry~"

When those people heard this, they immediately hung their heads. When they go back, they will probably be scolded by the boss again.

"It seems that I can only buy it on the black market, but the price of a mobile phone has risen to 300,000 yen a ...... in the black market."

…………

For the mobile phone sold out of stock, Minamino Shuichi did not feel surprised. Because he knew that when the big brother mobile phone came out in the previous life, it was similar to the current situation.

The message of the word "Big Brother" is clear, and it was a symbol of status, status and wealth in those days. For the people of the island who not long ago thought that "upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones", the shock it brought is inevitable. This is not only because it is expensive, but also because of the magic of the high-tech it demonstrates.

Although the current big brother heavyweight mobile phone is thick and bulky, shaped like a black brick, and weighs more than a catty. It has no other functions except for making calls, and the call quality is not clear and stable enough, so it often has to be shouted. One of its large batteries can only last 30 minutes of calls when charged. Despite this, Big Brother is still very in-demand and money is hard to find.

Shuichi Minamino vaguely remembers that when Big Brother's mobile phone was introduced to Xiangjiang in 1987, the public price of Big Brother was about 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, but it generally cost 25,000 yuan to buy it, and the black market price was as high as 50,000 yuan. This is not only prohibitive for the general public, but also small and medium-sized enterprises can not afford it. That was the Hong Kong dollar in 1987, and the 10,000 yuan households at that time were rich. Buying a mobile phone costs 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, which is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

So now that Big Brother is listed in an island country, this is also the case!

Those rich people, businessmen, and people with status all want to have a mobile phone!

Kojiro Saito is the owner of a company that he bought on the first day of the Big Brother mobile phone. Although he thinks that the phone is very expensive, and at the same time the cost of calls is also very expensive. But he felt that it was worth the money, and just yesterday, the mobile phone solved his urgent need for trade negotiations and helped him become one of the first beneficiaries of the market economy.

In fact, what Shuichi Minamino's communication company did not expect was that Big Brother's mobile phone quickly won the favor of some wealthy people at that time. Due to the large size of Big Brother, most of the people who use it are big brother-level figures in the business world, and they quickly become a symbol of prominent status. At that time, people had little concept of private cars, and they rarely envied them. At that time, when you drove a BMW car out, others thought it was a public car, which was far less dazzling than Big Brother. Soon people were proud of owning Big Brother and began a kind of ostentatious and comparative consumption.

It's like Kojiro Saito, he is an extrovert by nature, and since he has a big brother, he will hold the big brother in his hand all day long. Eating, drinking, tea, and negotiating, and putting it on the table is like betting on a rich chip and scepter, which will immediately gain more respect, and business negotiations will become easier. People with restrained personalities will put Big Brother in a polished boss bag, and the boss bag is tucked under the armpit. When the time is right, he pulls out a long antenna, spends 100 yen a minute, and shouts in the crowd, "Hey, hey, I can't hear you clearly, you say it again." It attracted countless admiring eyes.

Anyway, just a month has passed, and Big Brother has quickly become popular in big cities, and even the little kids know that the people who use Big Brother are rich people! Because only rich people can afford to use Big Brother mobile phones.

Headquarters of Minamino Telecommunications Co., Ltd.

As usual, Shuichi Minamino holds a monthly high-level meeting.

"This month has passed, how is the current sales of Big Brother mobile phones?" asked Minamino Shuichi in a deep voice as he sat at the top.

"Mr. Chairman, we have sold a total of 1,021 Big Brother mobile phones in four major cities in one month!" a sales manager reported with a smile.

With so many mobile phones, one sells for 200,000 yen, which is a total of 200 million yen, plus the network access fee, and another 80 million yen!

In addition, some customers' phone bill consumption has not been counted!

"Profiteering, definitely profiteering!"

"We didn't expect Big Brother mobile phones to become so popular! I'm sure a lot of rich people are buying them now. ”

"It's still the beginning, so don't get excited. Don't forget that the relay stations, signal stations, telephone networks, etc., we built cost 5 billion. Shuichi Minamino said lightly as he tapped on the table.

"Yes, yes......" A group of high-level executives said yes again and again, but they all knew in their hearts that it would not take long for this cost to be recovered.

That's the beauty of technology!

Making money is terrifying!

"Okay, the hunger sale continues! After three months, the sale will be released! I'm sure in a year our big brother will definitely lower the price. After all, when the rich people are sold, no one will buy our mobile phones, and then we can only choose to reduce the price. "Minamino Shuichi.

"Yes!"
